Inventor orneys Patented Mar. 2l, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in heating attachments for ranges, the principal object being to provide an attachment for ranges whereby heat usually lost from the flue is conserved and utilized for heating or maintaining warm various articles of food.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a heating attachment for ranges which will be exceedingly practical for use in bakery shops, boarding houses, and elsewhere where food in quantities must be cooked or heated.

These and various other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specication:

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view through the apparatus and partly through a range.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the appliance.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line 4 4 of Figure 3.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral Y 5 generally refers to a range having the water back 5 and the passage ways 1 for the products of combustion. Numeral 8 denotes the usual ue 30 attaching neck with which the apparatus generally referred to by numeral 9 is attached.

'I'his appliance consists of a tank I0 having the narrow, elongated chamber II therein from which rises the stack I2. The bottom of the tank I0 within the confines of the chamber II is provided with the opening I3 for receiving the neck 8. The upper portion of the tank I0 at the outside thereof is provided with the water gauge I4. Tie members I5 bridge the side walls of the 40 tank I 0 to prevent spreading thereof.

A pipe I6 extends from the tank I0 to a point of consumption while the pipe II extends from the bottom of the tank I0 to the water back 6. A

pipe I8 extends from the water back 6 and connects as at I9 to the upper portion of the tank I0. Obviously, by virtue of the described relation of parts, there is a circulation of water between the tank Ill and the water back 6, the 5 tank III serving as a reservoir for an abundance of water for the water back. As can be seen in Figure 1, the ue pipe 20 is connected to the upper end of the stack I2.

At opposite sides of the tank Ill are cabinet 10 structures generally referred to by numerals 2I and 22.

Each of these cabinet structures includes a back wall 22 which is provided with hook-like lugs 23 at its upper end for engagement over the l5 upper edges of the tank I0 and the angle arm members 24 which reinforce the tank walls at these points.

Each of these cabinets 2| and 22 is provided with a plurality of shelves 25 which divide the 20 cabinet into a plurality of compartments 26 each provided with a closure 2'l having a handle 28.

Obviously various food stuffs can be placed in these compartments and the closures closed for the purpose of heating or warming the same. 25

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specic terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention 30 as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention what is claimed as new is:

In combination with the water back of a range,

a tank, said range being provided with a flue, said ue extending through the tank, and circulatory pipes extending from the tank to the water back, said tank bein-g provided with an elongated narrow compartment therein provided with a stack, said compartment and stack being interposed in 40 the range flue.
